Many patients have tried synthetic thyroid hormones, such as levothyroxine and liothyronine, and have found that Natural Thyroid is the only form that works adequately for them, reporting that they simply do not feel as well when they take levothyroxine (Synthroid) alone or with liothyronine (Cytomel). Currently, certain forms and strengths of Natural Thyroid are available only through compounding pharmacies.
People with Mild Thyroid Failure (“subclinical hypothyroidism”) have symptoms of thyroid deficiency, although lab tests may indicate their thyroid function is “normal”. Symptoms of hypothyroidism (low levels of thyroid hormone) include fatigue, cold and heat intolerance, hypotension, fluid retention, dry skin and/or hair, constipation, headaches, low sexual desire, infertility, irregular menstrual periods, aching muscles and joints, depression, anxiety, slowed metabolism and decreased heart rate, memory impairment, enlarged tongue, deep voice, swollen neck, PMS, weight gain, hypoglycemia, and high cholesterol and triglycerides. Yet, more than half of all people with thyroid disease are unaware of their condition. Although both T4 (thyroxine, an inactive form that is converted to T3 in other areas of the body) and T3 (triiodothyronine, the active form) are secreted by the normal thyroid gland, many hypothyroid patients are treated only with levothyroxine (synthetic T4).
Some hypothyroid patients remain symptomatic, and T3 may also be required for optimal thyroid replacement therapy. A randomized, double-blind, crossover study found inclusion of T3 in thyroid hormone replacement improved cognitive performance, mood, physical status, and neuropsychological function in hypothyroid patients. Natural thyroid contains all needed hormonal components.
In 2003, the normal range for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) was adjusted from 0.5-5.0 to 0.3-3.0 as the American Academy of Clinical Endocrinologists acknowledged that symptoms of hypothyroidism frequently occurred in patients with “normal” lab values. Again natural thyroid works well with these circumstances.
